Cut the Fabrics

To make the best use of your fabrics, cut the pieces in the order that follows.

From each assorted red and blue print, cut:
5--2-7/8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 10 small triangles (you'll have 1 leftover triangle)
1--2-1/2" square

From solid white, cut:
7--4-7/8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 14 large triangles (you'll have 1 leftover triangle)
7--4-7/8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 14 large triangles (you'll have 1 leftover triangle)
26--2-1/2x6-1/2" rectangles
13--2-1/2" squares

From yellow print, cut:
5--1x42" strips for inner border
7--4-7/8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 14 large triangles (you'll have 1 leftover triangle)
39--2-7/8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 78 small triangles

From red print, cut:
5--4-1/2x42" strips for outer border
6--2-1/2x42" binding strips
2--16" squares, cutting each diagonally twice in an X for a total of 8 setting triangles
2--9" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for a total of 4 corner triangles

Assemble the Blocks

The instructions that follow are for making one red Basket block. Repeat these steps using one red or blue print in each block to make a total of 13 Basket blocks.

1. For a red Basket block you'll need nine small triangles and one 2-1/2" square from the same red print, one solid white large triangle, 11 solid white small triangles, two solid white 2-1/2x6-1/2" rectangles, one solid white 2-1/2" square, one yellow print large triangle, and six yellow print small triangles.

2. Sew together one red print small triangle and one solid white small triangle to make a small red-and-white triangle-square (see Diagram 1). Press the seam allowance toward the red print triangle. The pieced small triangle-square should measure 2-1/2" square, including seam allowances. Repeat to make a total of seven small red-and-white triangle-squares.

3. Repeat Step 2 using red print small triangles and yellow print small triangles to make a total of two small red-and-yellow triangle-squares (see Diagram 2). Press the seam allowances toward the red print triangles.

4. Repeat Step 2 using solid white small triangles and yellow print small triangles to make a total of four small white-and-yellow triangle-squares (see Diagram 3). Press the seam allowances toward the yellow print triangles.

Add the Borders

2. Sew the short yellow print inner border strips to opposite edges of the pieced quilt center. Then add the long yellow print inner border strips to the remaining edges of the pieced quilt center. Press the seam allowances toward the inner border.

4. Sew the short red print outer border strips to opposite edges of the pieced quilt center. Then add the long red print outer border strips to the remaining edges of the pieced quilt center to complete the quilt top. Press the seam allowances toward the outer border.

Complete the Quilt1. Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing. Quilt as desired.
2. Use the red print 2-1/2x42" strips to bind the quilt.
